TinySensor
TinySensor is an IoT sensor device that can be provided in three different versions,
with different wireless connectivity technologies:
• TinySensor WiFi (WiFi IEEE 802.11b/g/n)
• TinySensor Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
• TinySensor Wirepas (Wirepas Mesh 2.4GHz)
TinySensor is based on same hardware platform of TinyGateway: ESP32 S3 embedded SoC for WiFi 802.11 b/g/n support, Nordic Semiconductors nRF52832 SoC for Bluetooth LE or Wirepas Mesh 2.4GHz support.
TinySensor board integrates a socket designed according to specifications of MikroBUS™ standard, which allows to customize it with an add-on sensor board from the MikroE Click boards catalogue or from a custom design. TinySensor can be a temperature and humidity sensor, an air quality sensor, a gas sensor, and more. It can also be used as development board to accelerate IoT projects.
